A nice collection of their own. You rarely see these at toy fairs now. I don't have a single example so its great see them together here, thank's for showing these Bob.

Extremly interesting photos and very nice collection Bob, it seems that you are collecting only pre-pros. It seems also that the standard models are the rubbish for you, if you do not know what to do with the rubbish I will send you my address and you can recycle it free of charge :lol:

Would love to find the odd Rolls-Royce with mounting pillars, but so far have not.

The example on the left appears now and again, and I have these in the Giftware collection.

The "Woodgrain" example is the only one I've seen thus far.

That is a most amazing collection! My least (or would that be "less," as there are only two in my collection?) Yesteryears piece is a Y13-2 that still has its grill insert.

After many years of avoiding code 2 models (except the blue Hoover. black Model T & UK Matchbox) I have embarked on a mission to find all the original issues, this is what I have so far, with others waiting at Sandown for me.

The Y5 that looks plain is this one

I would imagine this is quite a task to collect all of them, especially if you don't have a listing of what was made. This is an area I have not got into apart from the 'Duchy of Cornwall' Rolls-Royce' about the only official 'Code 2' Rolls-Royce from the 'Yesteryear' range.

Seeing them as a collection is the way to do it and you can appreciate the hard work involved in tracking them down, well done Bob and good luck with finding the others.
